Do you love driving results, leading teams, and making a lasting impact on families and the community?

We are a staffing firm who is partnering with our amazing client to find a dynamic center leader in the Reading, PA area to oversee operations for a growing youth development and fitness organization.

What You’ll Do :

· Oversee daily operations to ensure a positive, safe, and energetic environment for both families and staff.

· Lead business development efforts through outreach, community involvement, and membership growth initiatives.

· Manage key financial metrics, including budgets, KPIs, and overall profitability.

· Recruit, train, and coach a high-performing team to deliver excellent service and programming.

· Build strong connections with families and community partners, serving as the friendly, reliable point of contact.

What You Bring :

· 5 years of proven sales experience with consistent achievement of goals.

· A genuine passion for working with children and helping them thrive.

· Prior leadership or management experience required.

· Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate others.

· Technically proficient with CRM databases, Google Workspace, etc.

· CPR certification (or willingness to obtain).

· This position requires travel by vehicle for work-related errands; a valid driver’s license and a reliable vehicle are required.

· Bonus: background in child development, physical education, or fitness.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out :

· Competitive pay structure with performance-based incentives.

· The chance to build and lead your own team within a mission-driven organization.

· Meaningful work that positively influences kids’ lives every day.

· A lively, supportive, and fun work environment where your leadership truly matters.

Things to Note :

Status: Full- Time/Salaried/Exempt - this role is $55-65K base depending on experience, plus quarterly bonus potential (based on performance metrics).

Ideal Schedule: Flexibility to work weekends and evenings, as needed.
